Avery's gaze darkened.
"Are you afraid I can't pay you?" she asked.
"Miss Tate, I'll take the file, but you don't have to pay me," The detective explained." Mr. Foster has come to me. He has given me Ivy's photo but because I have too little information, there was no progress all this while. Now that we have your additional information, I'll look for her properly, but my team and I won't be looking for her in Aryadelle."
"Why not?" Avery asked.
"From the information, Mr. Foster gave me. The child might have been sold to the surrounding small countries around Ylore and not a place so far away like Aryadelle."
"But the lead I have gotten is that the child has been sold to someone in Aryadelle."
"Can you trust the authenticity of your lead? " The detective asked.
"How can I be sure?" Avery furrowed her brows. "Try looking in Aryadelle! I can match Elliot's price."
The detective smiled. "Miss Tate, do you know how much he is paying me?"
"I don't know, but I saw his net worth from the list of billionaires last year. The price he can offer, I can offer it, too, " Avery said determinedly.
The detective's gaze darkened a little." Since you're so confident. I'll do my best."
"Thank you!" Avery said. "Ivy looks a lot like my daughter when she was younger. I’m sure that she hasn't changed all that much now that she is grown up. Take my daughter's photo and look for her. I'm sure you won't get it wrong."
"Okay."
After the two of them finished talking, the detective left Avery's place.
In the car, the detective called Elliot.
